Nothing prepares a girl for the Bainbridge family! She just wanted a Count. She got calamity.
A Wildly Entertaining Victorian Romance from Best Selling Author Emma V Leech
Miss Arabella Hunt has a plan. A bold, determined, utterly single‑minded plan. The vivacious redhead has set her sights on Louis César de Montluc, the impossibly beautiful French count who has never once noticed she exists. As the daughter of the man who owns London’s most notorious gambling den, Arabella is used to getting what she wants… eventually.

Enter Lawrence Grenville, the Marquess of Bainbridge — mad, bad, and dangerous to know.

Bainbridge’s family is infamous for every vice imaginable, and madness is rumoured to run in their blood. Plagued by ennui and dissatisfaction, he’s begun to wonder whether marriage might be the cure for his restless spirit. Helping Arabella catch the attention of another man seems harmless enough… until it isn’t.
Because when Arabella accepts Bainbridge’s assistance, she has no idea she’s stepping into a trap of her own making. One misstep, one scandal, and suddenly she’s married to a man she barely knows — a man whose unpredictable temper and unsettling intensity leave her more than a little nervous.

But nothing could prepare her for the chaos awaiting her at Bainbridge House.
His family is a whirlwind of calamity, drama, and eccentricity that makes Greek tragedy look tame. His father, the Duke of Axton, despises her on sight and is determined to chase her out of his son’s life. Unfortunately for him, Arabella is far tougher than she looks — and for the first time in his life, Bainbridge has someone firmly on his side.

She may have married madness…
But madness has never looked quite so tempting.
